The National Snurfing Contest took on new stature this year as JEM
Corporation, manufacturer of the boards, stepped in to lend it a
financial hand. And it may be only the beginning. The
company is now interested in co-sponsoring the annual event with
MCC's Student Representative Council and making it truly "national"
in scope.

JEM Corporation General Manager Leo Parks and Corporate Vice
President Bill Fix attend the 11th Annual Snurfing Competition to
award $1,000 in prize money and offer to co-sponsor the event in the
future.

"Already in the planning stage are proposed local, and regional
competitions with winners coming to Muskegon for the payoff event,
the National Contest. Also in the works is a National Snurfer's
Association with tis own executive director and a national promotion
of MCC's competition."
